Is the first thing to go as you age your memory? Because I've had a horrible time with forgetting things. Tying a string around my finger? Sure. If I remembered where i put the string.
Case in point. Being the cheapskate I am, I decided that I would carry our portable CD player from inside to outside and vice versa when needed; thus saving money we don't have by forgoing an exterior CD player.
Great idea...if I remembered things like that. But alas the CD player was outside all night long. And apparently it must have either rained, or the dew was extremely heavy. Good-bye CD player.
If I would have looked into an outside system, I'd have 2 working players instead of 0. This is but one example of my forgetfulness. I've had a horrible time remembering kids' names (especially when they're right in front of me) (not mine, by the way; I'm not that bad), grocery items, location of car keys and sunglasses and parked cars, garage codes, etc. And I'm passing this trait on to my kids; my oldest had almost a dozen missing items at his boy scout camp gear inspection, and then his troop had to unpack the entire trailer so he could get out a t-shirt (which he forgot to wear).
Anyway...what was I talking about?

If you tie the string too tight your finger could die and fall off. That would be bad. Who wants a man with a missing finger? It's not even sexy on industrial arts teachers.
It isn't going to get any better as you "gracefully age". Just wait until you reach 60 that is when it all starts to get worse. By the way, has anyone seen an elderly man wearing a red nose? I seem to have left him somewhere.
